SCENE. — Private office in the nation^s capital ten years 
hence. Doors c. of rear flat, also r. and l. Desk up r. 
with chair. Sofa down l. Arm chair down r. Other 
chairs and office furniture as may he desired. DIS- 
COVERED Secretary Mary Madison seated at 
desk, smoking a cigarette, reading newspaper, 

Mary {y axons). Can't get my mind on business this 
morning, even if the country does go to ruin. This being 
secretary to a female president is no cinch. She's off 
spending her seventy-five thousand a year, on royal bridge 
and bargain sales, and here am I, at eighteen per, running 
the whole United States. 

ENTER c. d., Marie Mario with letters. 

Marie. Morning mail Madam. [EXIT c. d. 

Mary {disgustedly throwing down paper). Now I have 
to go through a lot of dry, old letters. {Tears one open 
fiercely, reads) " President of United States. Dear Madam. 
We would deem it an honor, if you could be present, at 
the laying of the corner stone of our new Carnegie Li- 
brary," — {Throws down letter) I should think that man 
Carnegie, would get tired of building libraries, and build 
a garage or something, for a change. The President has 
an appointment with her dressmaker and of course won't 
go. {Confusion off stage, r. Kit Conley appears in door, 
speaking over her shoulder) 

Kit. Well, may be you are the doorkeeper, but you don't 
own the whole District of Columbia, do you? (ENTER 
D. R. Kit Conley, carrying satchel, which she places on 



4 When Women Rule 

desk) Hello, Molly, What do you think, that tljousand 
year old mummy out there, tried to tell me I couldn't 
come in. 

Mary. Well, Kit Conley, where did you come from? 
Don't tell me that show of yours has stranded already? 

Kit. Busted last night in Baltimore. Say, I'm gettin' 
disgusted with the show business. 

Mary. Why don't you get a partner and go into 
vaudeville? 

Kit. I did. But — well — the act didn't go. 

Mary. The agents couldn't see it? 

Kit. Nope. They said 
The thing was slow, there were too many waits. 
They said, we couldn't dance, that our feet weren't mates. 
We couldn't sing a little, and both were off the key. 
The comedy was fierce, and the costumes were N. G. 
The act was simply punk, and when we started stewin' 
They pointed to the door, and said, " There's nothin' doin.'^ 

Mary. Hard luck Kit, but I hope you haven't come 
round here looking for a government job. 

Kit (sarcastically). No, I haven't given up earning 
an honest living yet. ^ 

Mary. Well, you know, Kit, we can't have a "Flora- 
dora Sextette" for a Cabinet. 

ENTER Marie, d. c 

Marie. A gentlemen to see you Madam. [EXIT d. c. 

Mary. Show him in. 

Kit. I thought men weren't allowed in the White 
House. 

Mary. That's why I'm sending for him, to inform 
him, he's broken one of our strictest rules. Men are not 
allowed in the White House. (Both turn as a very effemi- 
nate looking dude appears) 

ENTER D. c, Willie Walters 

Kit. Oh, let him come in, he won't break your rule. 
Mary (aside to Kit). What is it? 



When Women Rule 6 

Kit (laughing heartily). It looks to me, like a cure 
for the blues. 

Mary. Sh, — It might be King Alphonso. 

Kit. Well, it isn't Abraham Lincoln. 

Mary {turning to Walters). What can I do for you? 

Walters {stamjiiering) . I'm heah, — I'm heah, — Well, 
weally, don't awsk me to be so abrupt. By Jove, you've 
got me so jolly well confused I can't think why I am heah. 

Mary {sarcastically). Perhaps the elevator man put 
you ojff at the wrong floor? 

Walters. Elevator? There was no elevator. I got 
in here by climbing some beastly, long steps out front there. 
My Word, I would nevah have reached the top if I hadn't 
had my smelling salts. 

Kit. Smelling salts. Help! [EXIT d. r. 

Mary. Well, now that you are here what do you 
want? 

Walters. Mother sent me down to awsk you to give 
me an office, — a government job don't you know. 

Mary. You bet I will. The country needs folks Uke 
you. I'll put you in the army to be shot in place of a 
real man. 

Walters. Oh, no, no, no, no. You don't understand 
at all, Mother doesn't want me to be shot. She wouldn't 
like it a bit. 

Mary. Then she doesn't know what's best for you. 
I have it — I'll put you in charge of the weather bureau. 
There's a vacancy and you don't need to know anything. 

Walters {puzzled). Weather bureau — bureau? Will 
that mean — ^lifting heavy furniture? 

Mary. No. It simply means, telling lies about the 
weather. Had any experience with weather? 

Walters. I should say so. I've been struck by 
thunder, and blown over by a cyclone. 

Mary {looking him over afnusedly). A cyclone! Are 
you sure it wasn't an electric fan? 

Walters. Oh, deah, no. 

Mary. Well, now, if you hadn't any idea what the 
weather was going to be to-morrow, what would you 
predict? 



6 When Women Rule 

Walters. Why, I should simply say, From fair to 
beastly weather will prevail. Then I couldnH h€ wrong 
you see. 

Mary {clasping hands to head). Oh, let me out. 

[EXIT D. c. 

Walters {looking after her). What an extraordinary 
person. {Recites, or if possible the words should he sung to 
the tune of some popular air) 

Now, I've found if you wish to succeed these days, 
You must grasp on a new ideah. 
And nevah follow the crowd, you know, 
Tho' people may think you are que'ah. 
Decrees of Dame Fashion I simply ignoah, 
And though she is quite a tormentor. 
When, she says, part your hair in the middle, 
Why, I part mine, in the centah. 

I'm full of brilliant ideahs you know, 
There's no problem too deep for my brain, 
My friends think I'm awfully clevah. 
But I nevah let that make me vain. 
Now some folks cawn't see the point to a joke, 
And to tell them a gag nevah pays. 
Tell me sl good joke, and I see the point, 
Sometimes, — in a very few days. 

A friend of mine lost a valuable dog, 

A sort of a four legged cweture. 

And she did a number of cute, little tricks, 

That he had been able to teach her. 

He said, I have it, I'll advertise, 

In each paper an AD. shall appear, 

I said, '^Why you fool, your dog cawnH read'* 

You see, that was a new ideah. 

[EXIT D. L. 

ENTER Mary d. c. 
Mary. I wonder if he's gone. 



When Women Rule 7 

ENTER Kit d. r. 

Kit. Has Mother's Sunshine went? 

Mary. I guess so, but violet perfume still lingers in 
the air. 

Kit. Say, do things like that happen often, around 
here? 

Mary. We get a new sensation evfery hour. 

Kit. Well, I hope the next one will be a cowboy 
that'll shoot up the place. 

Mary. I hope it will be a cup of coffee. Say, Kit 
would you mind taking charge here, while I get a bite to 
eat? 

Kit. I should be "dee-lighted." Run right along. 
(EXIT Mary d. c. Powders her nose and settles herself 
with very judicial air at desk) I suppose I ought to sit here, 
and look dignified in case someone should drop in, but 
I'm not going to. I feel a horrible desire to sing. {Song 
or musical specialty may he introduced here) 

ENTER D. R., Wick Lee Sling, stands grinning. 

Kit. Hello, whats this? An ambassador from China? 
{Sits down at desk takes up pen) Your name, please. 

Wick Lee. Me Wick Lee SHng. 

Kit. I beg your pardon? 

Wick Lee. Me Wick Lee Sling. 

Kit. Oh, yes, to be sure — Do you spell it with a 
hyphen, or a syphon? 

Wick Lee {confusedly). Me no speakee good English. 

Kit. Neither do I, so don't let that embarrass you. 

Wick Lee (looking around). Where's the Missy? 

Kit. The Missy is out Mr. Wick Lee Sling, but I am 
acting in her place. What can I do for you? {Aside) Now 
isn't this a pretty fix. I presume he is some Chinese 
Minister here on some important government business. 
I wish Molly would come back. (Wick Lee has been 
unfolding long narrow strip of paper on which are Chinese 
characters. He hands it to Kit) 

Wick Lee. Missy better read. 



8 "Wlien Women Rule 

Kit {takes paper with some alarm. Aside). What in 
the world is this — I'm getting scared — Heavens I'JJ bet 
its a declaration of war against the United States. 

Wick Lee. Missy readee paper? 

Kit {studying paper). Yes, — Oh, yes — I'm reading 
it, {Aside, reading it) — I don't know a word that's here, 
but of course its a declaration of war, it has a threatening 
look. 

Wick Lee. What Missy going to do? 

Kit {aside). That's what Fd like to know, I wonder 
if I'd better throw him out, or kid him along and get him 
to call it off. {Turns to Wick Lee) Look here Mr. Meekly 
Wing, you'd better go back and tell the Emperor to think 
again, before he starts anything with the United States. 

Wick Lee. Me mus' have monies — 

Kit. Monies — {Aside) Oh, the miserable grafter. He 
wants money for squaring the thing, — I have it, I've a 
roll of stage money in my knapsack. {Gets money from 
satchel) 

Wick Lee {seeing money). Yes, now lady understandee 
me. 

Kit. Oh, this material is always ''oil on the troubled 
waters." Here, {Hands roll of money) take this to the 
Emperor and tell him to "forget it.'^ 

Wick Lee {taking money) . Laydee velly good. Thankee 
muchee — 

Kit. That's all right— Keep the change. (EXIT 
Wick Lee d. r. bowing. Kit laughs heartily) Stage 
money — Well it's the same color as what they make in 
the treasury, anyway, and for folks that worship crockery 
BilUkens it ought to do. 

ENTER Mary d. c. 

Mary. Hello, how's everything? 

Kit. Great, I've just called off a war — I'm quite get- 
ting the run of the job — 

Mary. Called off a TFto? 

Kit {holding up paper). Here's a merry httle declara- 
tion of war a Chinese ambassador waltzed in with. I

squared it (Winks at audience) but it's about all the ready 
cash I had. 

Mary. What! Are you crazy? 

Kit. Nope, {Holds up paper) Here's the program 
of the fight. I haven't read it, but it looks as if it's all 
here. 

Mary (looking at paper). This isn't a declaration of 
war. 

Kit. It isn't? Don't it say anything about war? 

Mary. No, It says one pair of pink pajamas twenty 
cents — etc. This is a three week's laundry hill. 

Kit {collapsing in chair). Well, it's paid. {Bursting 
into a laugh as thought strikes her) With stage money! 
{Noise off stage) 

ENTER Marie d. c. 

Marie. Madam there's a policeman out here with an 
excited Chinaman. 

Mary {looks knowingly at Kit). I thought so. Bring 
them in. 

ENTER D. c, Annie Murphy holding Wick Lee hy.the 

collar. 

Annie. This man was trying to pass counterfeit money, 
which he says he got here. 

Kit. Yes, he did. I thought he was after graft, so 
I gave him fake money. 

Annie {releasing Wick Lee). Well all I've got to say 
is, if there's any graft floating around, just slip some my 
way. {Taps herself on chesi) Why, I'm the lady that 
invented graft. 

Walters {Off stage). But I tell you I will come in. 
I must see her. {Rushes to center of stage, flourishing toy 
pistol, Marie hanging to his coat-tails) Where is she, where 
is she? Tell me. — I must kill her. 

Annie. Hello, who's this? {Grabbing Walters) Here 
my son, you are disturbing the peace. 

Walters. Don't touch me you horrid woman. I'm a

CURTAIN. 



Plays for Female Qiaracters 

CHEERFUL COMPANION, A is cents, a duologue for two female 
characters, adapted from a Character Sketch by Ina Leon Cassilis. Parlor scene. 
Time, 25 minutes. A lady o£ refinement advertised for a cheerful, musical companion, 
a good reader. She has one applicant, who proves to be tearfully doleful, garrulous 
over disappointed love failures, and an unmitigated bore. A fine scope for character 
delineation. 

CRANFORD DAMES* l S cents, a play for 8 or 14 female charac- 
ters, by Alice Bvington. 2 interior scenes. Costumes of sixty years ago. Time 
of playing, i}4 hours. A clever adaptation of Mrs. Gaskell's "Cranford," which 
is perhaps one of the finest pieces of humoristic writing within the entire range of 
English fiction. The delicate pathos, the subtle humor, the quaint atmosphere of the 
book have been well preserved in the play, and the result is a series of episodes almost 
wholly devoid of that element called plot, but possessed, none the less, of a charm that 
cannot fail to please the audience. The piece is easily managed, and will prove a 
strong attraction for young ladies' representations. 

GERTRUDE MASON, M»D. j or, The Lady Doctor, is cents. 

A farce in i act for 7 female characters, by L. M. C. Armstrong. Plain room scerfe 
or no scene at all. Runs 30 minutes. An exceedingly bright piece for young ladies, 
in which young Dr. Gertrude^ already a victim of circumstances, is made the victim 
of a practical joke. The scenes with Mrs. Van Style, who mistakes the doctor for a 
pawnbroker, and Miss fane Simpkins, who brings a sick dog to be cured, are hilari- 
ous, while Nora^ an Irish cook, is deliciously droll. The cook is the star of the 
piece, but all the personages are vivacious and every situation bristles with fun. 

LOVE AND A WAY« is cents, a comedy in 3 acts and i scene, by 
Evelyn Simms. 4 female characters. Scene, a sitting-room. Time, ij^ hours. 
Phyllis^ a young girl, loving and beloved by Jack PembertoHy a rich young man, 
refuses to marry him because her maiden aunts consent and every one wishes it. 
Jack is reported to have lost his fortune, and now she wants to m.2ixryjack, with whom 
her aunts forbid any communication. By the_ aid of her friend Beatrice an elopement 
is planned and carried out, and a most surprising climax is sprung upon the audience. 

MAIDENS ALL FORLORN. I5 cents, a comedy in 3 acts and 
I scene, by Evelyn Simms. 6 female characters. Scene, a parlor in a seaside cottage. 
Time, ij^^ hours. Three young girh chafing under the monotony of a man-forsaken 
resort, write Teddy to come and visit them. Teddy cannot come, but answers that 
his friend Dr. Jocelyn Denby will coine and help while away the time. Great 
preparations are made for his reception, including much interest by a Maiden Aunt. 
Each prepares a present to bestow on the Doctor, and feigns an ailment to interest 
him. The Doctor arrives — a woman. The climax, deftly worked out, is sprung on 
the audience at the last moment, and insures the play a complete success. The char- 
acters are all good, the Maiden A unt and Mrs. Maloney are great character parts. 

MURDER WILL OUT. is, cents, a farce in i act, for 6 female 
characters, by L. M. Elwyn. Time, 30 minutes. A breezy and effective farce, in 
which half a dozen bright girls can delight an audience with half an hour of innocent fun. 
Grandmother Stiles and her demure but frolicsome granddaughter are excellent charac- 
ters ; Dinah, the colored cook, is amusing, and Bridget O" Flaherty \% a, funny Irish 
girl — her quarrel with, Z>/«a^ being exceedingly laughable. The attempts oi Lena 
and her merry friends. May zxiA Minnie, to hoodwink the old lady, and their final 
exposure, will keep the audience in a ripple of laughter. No scenery required. 

SOCIAL ASPIRATIONS, l S cents: a comedy in I act and 2 scenes, 

by Helen Sherman Griffith. 5 female characters. Bedroom scene afterwards 
transformed into a parlor. Plaj's about 45 minutes. A highly entertaining comedy in 
which Mrs. Chick and her two daughters from the United States are in Paris, bent on 
an extended tour, but meet with a Countess, who proposes to introduce them into 
fashionable society. They feel flattered and make a great fuss over, the Countess^ 
who turns out to be a lady s maid dressed in her mistress' finery, and is betrayed by 
the housemaid of the pension. Disillusionment and exciting climax. 

MY AUNT'S HEIRESS, is cents, a comedy in I act. , 11 female 
characters. Parlor scene. Modern costumes. Time, i hour. Has a "Cinderella" 
sort of plot in which a rich widow adopts a ruse to decide which of her seven nieces 
shall inherit her fortune. It shows that envy and jealousy don't pay, and that striv- ' 
ing to make others happy is the best way to gain happiness for ourselves. Two of 
the characters can l)e played by one jgirl. No scenery required.

SYNOPSIS OF INCIDENTS 

Act I. — John has proposed to Margaret, but she delays giving him any- 
final answer. He overhears a conversation between her and Louise in 
which Margaret, who is a candidate for President of the Eta Pi Sorority, 
which is to meet in Boston, confides to Louise that if she is elected she 
will not marry, in order to devote her time to the Sorority. Two of the 
members of Denver write to say they cannot attend. John and Edward 
determine to disguise themselves as the Denver Delegates and vote against 
Margaret's election and plan to keep Margaret and Louise from reaching 
the Convention. 

Act II. — The Sorority convention in Boston. John and Edward arrive, 
but in spite of their ruse, Margaret and Louise also arrive. Edna (Edward) 
hands Margaret a bogus telegram calling her back instantly to New York. 
An accident has delayed the starting of the train; she telegraphs home to 
account for the delay, and the Randolphs in alarm hasten to Boston. The 
whole scheme is unravelled and plans are laid for a double wedding.
